Theme
A re-recording of a song originally written by the classic *'Rust in Peace'* lineup (Mustaine, Ellefson, Friedman, Menza) but never officially released until this album. Like track 4, the theme is the imminent danger of the **'New World Order'**, asserting that a global power structure is seizing control, revoking freedoms, and using fear and misinformation ('They rewrite history, they lie on the news') to ensure submission.
Lyrics
Where had the apostles gone?
Joining hands with wicked ones
Revelation has come to pass
New World Order will hold the mass
A book written by the man
Used to control and command
All rights will be denied
Without the mark you shall die
No confession, all is known
New World Order, you shall be shown
Monitoring all wages
New World Order comes in stages
Currency is obsolete
Feel the agony of defeat
Symbol of society today
A must have or you shall pay
As human flesh leads the mind,
Just a pawn, the last martyr dies
